MDM-Enabled Device Monitoring

In Oracle Enterprise Communications Platform (Oracle ECP), users can onboard different types of MDM-enabled devices as supported by the selected device profile, device operating system, and device connectivity type. Oracle ECP enables users to monitor and manage MDM-enabled devices according to the level of support provided through the external MDM.

Oracle ECP displays information for an MDM-enabled device in different sections of the Device Details page. The Ivanti Neurons for MDM Solution reports the following details to ECP for MDM-enabled devices when the information is available based on external platform capabilities for the device and operating system.

The MDM Tab

Oracle Enterprise Communications Platform (Oracle ECP) provides users with a view of Mobile Device Management (MDM) enabled device information on the MDM tab of the Device Details page.

The General Info section lets administrators check the compliance and device states for the MDM-enabled device and see the available resources (battery and local storage), location, management profile, and the time elapsed since the last update from the device.

Note:

An external platform issue prevents the display of the remaining battery charge for MDM-enabled devices that use the iOS operating system.

MDM-enabled devices display the following MDM device status information on the MDM tab:

  • Active: Device is on-boarded and is in working state.
  • Wipe Sent: Wipe command has been issued to the device.
  • Wipe Pending: Wipe command has been pending for the execution on the device.
  • Pending MDM-Wiped: Device has been wiped and can be re-onboarded to MDM.
  • Pending MDM: Device is not enrolled on the MDM platform.

The Fully Managed management profile indicates that an MDM-enabled device is owned by the company and fully controlled remotely by the external MDM. The Work Profile management profile indicates a corporate-owned device that includes a device user’s personal data separate from corporate applications and data.

The Compliant state indicates that an MDM-enabled device adheres to policies defined on the Ivanti Neurons for MDM Solution. GBU Administrators can access the external MDM to investigate and resolve concerns related to MDM-enabled device compliance.

The GBU Applications section lists the Oracle Global Industry Unit (GIU) applications installed on the MDM-enabled device with the version and date installed for each. ECP updates the list of applications periodically and when you use the Refresh MDM Data action.

Wipe and Deactivate an MDM-managed Device

You can wipe and deactive an MDM-managed device directly from the device details page in Oracle Enterprise Communications Platform (Oracle ECP) to remove applications and data.

Before You Begin
  • To remove applications and data from an MDM-managed Device, you must identify the device in your inventory and then drill down to the device details page.
Context
Oracle ECP can send the Wipe command to remove applications and data from your MDM-managed Device. This is useful when you need to retire the device, lose the device, or to prepare it for re-onboarding to Oracle ECP. The Wipe action displays a dialog that will allow you to choose
  • Wipe the applications and data only - leaving the device in the Active lifecycle state.
  • Additionally deactivate the device which requires the device be re-enrolled into the MDM platform.

Note:

When a user deletes an MDM-managed device directly from the MDM Platform (Ivanti Neurons), the MDM data is removed from Oracle ECP and the MDM tab. The MDM Device Status moves to "Pending MDM" meaning that the device is not yet registered on the MDM platform. A notification is generated at this point.
Procedure
  1. On the Devices Inventory page, find the MDM-managed device you want to Wipe. You can optionally to use the MDM Enabled filter chip in the Search field and set the value to Yes.
  2. On the chosen MDM-managed device, click the link in the Name column. This action navigates to the Device Details page for the selected device.
  3. Click the Actions menu (ellipsis) and select MDM-Wipe.
    The confirmation message displays: Wipe device <device name>? This will permanently remove all data from the device and return the device to factory default settings, requiring onboarding to MDM.Screen graphic shows Device Details page menu with MDM-Wipe action selected for an MDM-managed Device.
  4. Choose the appropriate action for the selected Device:
    • Cancel: Exit without making a change to the selected MDM-managed Device.
    • Wipe: Remove of all applications and data and return to the default settings (as provided by the reseller or manufacturer). The device remains onboarded in ECP and the MDM Platform
    • Wipe and Deactivate: Request to remove all applications and data and restore to default settings (as provided by the reseller or manufacturer), and deactivation of the MDM-managed device in ECP.
What to Do Next If you wipe and deactivate the MDM-managed Device, it can be re-enrolled to the external MDM but does not need to be re-onboarded to Oracle ECP. Otherwise, the Device is ready to be retired. If you only wipe the device, then the MDM-managed Device remains in the Active lifecycle state on Oracle ECP and is manageable on the MDM Platform.

Lock or Unlock an MDM-Enabled Device

ECP users can access MDM-enabled devices from the Inventory page to lock and unlock the device screen for an MDM-enabled device.

Before You Begin
  • To lock or unlock the screen of an MDM-enabled device, you must have the device name assigned during onboarding or the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number to identify the device on the Devices Inventory page.
Context

Use the lock and unlock functionality from the MDM platform to lock and unlock MDM-enabled devices to resolve user lock-out scenarios and when no screen lock passcode is set. The Unlock action sets the passcode to the default Personal Identification Number (PIN).

Procedure
  1. Access the Devices Inventory page.
  2. On the Devices Inventory page, use page controls to distinguish MDM-Enabled devices. For example, you can use the Hide or Show Columns icon to add the MDM Enabled column to the table and use the IMEI or Name for the device to choose the appropriate row with the value set to Yes.
  3. On the row of the MDM-enabled device that requires locking or unlocking, click the device name link in the Name column.
    Oracle ECP navigates to the Device Details page for the selected device.
  4. On the Device Details page, click the Actions menu (ellipsis) and select the action to perform:
    • MDM-Lock: To lock the selected MDM-enabled device.
    • MDM-Unlock: To unlock the selected MDM-enabled device.
    The appropriate confirmation message displays: This will lock the device. Do you want to proceed? or This will unlock the device. Do you want to proceed? Screen graphic shows the Device Details page menu with Lock and Unlock commands.
    After you lock a device, a message displays: Successfully submitted lock request. When you lock an MDM-enabled device, it is inaccessible until the device user enters the passcode that unlocks the screen. Unlock sets the default screen lock passcode automatically. After you unlock a device a message displays: Successfully submitted unlock request. If Oracle ECP is unable to submit the request for the lock or unlock action, a message details the error at the top of the page. When you unlock an MDM-enabled device, it is accessible until a user locks the screen, or until the screen locks automatically after the configured time interval. For security reasons, the user of the MDM-enabled device is responsible for setting a new password immediately to replace the default passcode.

Refresh MDM Data

All roles can access MDM-enabled devices from the Devices Inventory page to refresh the device information from the Mobile Device Management (MDM) platform.

Context

Device information changes on the MDM platform can affect the state information of MDM-enabled devices onboarded to Oracle ECP. Administrators can update the device state information from the MDM platform to display the latest device state information in Oracle ECP.

Before You Begin
  • To update state information for an MDM-enabled device, you must have the device name assigned during onboarding or the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number associated with the SIM card to identify the device on the Devices Inventory page.
Procedure
  1. Access the Devices Inventory page.
  2. On the Devices Inventory page use page controls to distinguish the MDM-Enabled devices, then choose the appropriate device row based on the either the IMEI number or the name used to onboard the MDM-enabled device. For example, you can add the MDM Enabled filter chip to the Search field and set the value to Yes to filter the table to include only MDM-Enabled devices.
  3. On the row of the MDM-enabled device that needs an update, click the device name link in the Name column of the row for the device.
    The device name link navigates to the Devices Details page.
  4. Click the Actions menu (ellipsis) and select MDM-Refresh Data.
    Oracle ECP displays:: Successfully submitted refresh data request. When Oracle ECP cannot submit the request for the MDM-Refresh Data action, a message provides details of the error at the top of the page.
